RC helicoptors

[redshift]

Avoid anything made by Venom..... I bought a Night Ranger 3D back in about May '06.
Turns out it was a subtlely restyled Walkera 22E/D, parts availability was a nightmare, prices insane.

All in all I wish I would have spent all the cash I WASTED... on my truck instead.

The process of learning with helis almost never ends, which means it takes many people a long time and hundreds in repairs to even get to the point where it's more fun than stress and intense concentration. and I'm not a believer in simulators either, I don't think they offer any real-world applicability when getting a feel for controls and orientation. Just when you think you're getting good, you have to face the beast, nose in. Everything gets 10X harder when you graduate from tail-in flying.

The most fun I have had in the air so far is with my HobbyZone Super Cub.
I built mine from parts instead of buying the kit with the radio I'd just throw out. and mine has 3-4 times the power of a stocker, I started with a 3790 kv Ammo, on 3S 16,000 rpm prop speed proved to be way too much, dropped down to a 2500 kv, waiting on weather to try that one. If anyone would like to see how I did the gearbox conversion, I'll post up. BTW that mod uses a 12T Emaxx gear, there is one actual MT part on my plane lol.
